In Re Mississippi Bar to Transfer Brumfield
Mississippi Supreme Court · 2009-11-05
This case involves a petition by the Mississippi Bar to transfer attorney Robert W. Brumfield to disability inactive status under Rule 18 of the Rules of Discipline, due to his personal incapacity to practice law. Brumfield admitted the allegations and joined the request. The court decided to transfer Brumfield to disability inactive status, prohibiting him from practicing law until further order, and directed the appointment of receivers to handle the closure of his law practice in Pike County. The decision was based on the determination that Brumfield is incapable of practicing law, following the procedures outlined in Rules 18, 24, 25, and 11(f) for such transfers and practice closures.
